Any one know what I should use / try to find, to cap off the bottom bracket oiling port?

Use a grease nipple. I think the thread is 2BA (not certain though) and you should be able to find one on ebay. Or try Nick at Lloyds, the bloke who does the bike transfers.

Funny how the words 'grease nipple' makes me want to smirk...

Perfect! Cheers chap, much appreciated.

Greasy nipples, greasy nipples, grease nipples, oiled nippled, nipp nipp nipples!

I bought an old rear sprint/tub rimmed wheel a while ago. That had a 40 hole Fiamme rim with a fixed/fixed Phillips hub laced up with butted spoked.

I've unscrewed the oiling port "spring cap" from the barrel of the hub, an it almost fits. I'm hoping that if I clean the thread on the frame it could well fit??

Any one want to buy the rim/wheel?
Any one have a saddle support for sale? (The bar that connects the nose of the saddle to the top tube).
